We have provided optimized layouts for most of the popular DAWs. If you are already happy with the layout we provided, you can skip the rest of this manual.
However, you may want to check the Chapter 2 for detailed layout settings such as button abbreviations for your own DAW.
If you want to modify the default layout or even make an own one, you can get detailed information in Chapter 3.
Notice:
Only DAWs that support Mackie Control Protocol can be customized. (Pro Tools is currently not supported for customizing)
If you want to use old layouts in earlier version of DAW Remote HD, you can find them in System Settings.
You may also want to look up the DAW manuals for some advanced controls such as key combinations. You can find them on our website.
